Because he is no putting all his development efforts into this site he has deprecated AppRanking for FREE which has been available for download from the Dr. Touch blog.

Applyzer is now looking for about 100 people to help test the new server and database. Participation will be for free during the BETA phase, after this time free apps’ data will stay free, paid apps data be available for a small monthly fee.

The BETA phase is scheduled to run until June 30th.

Applyzer has several major advantages over AppRanking for FREE and therefore the software will no longer be available.

Top 1000 ranking information, not to be found anywhere else

No waiting times, your apps’ information is ready and waiting for you

You don’t have to transfer a hundreds of Gigabytes of worthless data from Apple/iTunes to just get the information you want

Nice ranking tables and charts

I found that Michael Dorn (not the one from Star Trek) also listens to his users when it comes to wishes for improvement. I had the privilege of participating in the ALPHA phase and there I could see several quantum leaps, most notably related to the performance.

Once the service goes live there will also be an API to download the ranking information and analyze yourself. This is what I am most excited about because I want to add ranking information to MyAppSales.

http://www.cocoanetics.com/2009/01/mobile-sales-report-app-beta/#commentsWed, 28 Jan 2009 06:00:23 +0000http://www.drobnik.com/touch/?p=51If you have a couple of apps where you get sales reports, haven’t you had the same problem as me, that daily reports are only available for 7 days and it’s a big hassle to keep downloading all of them. And even if you do, you don’t have any overview or analysis or charts…

Over the past two months I have been developing an App that runs on your iPhone and automatically downloads all new daily and weekly reports once you start the app. The reports are nicely shown with country flags and converted to your favorite currency. The report data is inserted into a local sqlite database which you can also transfer away from the iPhone via the built in web server. So the data is safe even long after Apple removed the report from the iTunes Connect site. There are also charts (1 so far, but more to come) to help you optically analyze sales trends and see how your apps are doing. The iTunes Connect logon is kept on the iphones secure keychain for safekeeping.

I am using it myself and every day I am anxious to see the previous day’s sales for my two apps and what the trend is.

I am looking for about a dozen people who would want to try out the app in different countries. Their benefit will be that they will get to keep the app for free and use forever.

A little more polishing and then I am going to find out wether Apple will permit such an app. Probably not, but if they do then it will be highly useful for everybody who is making the least bit of money in the store.

Future additions planned:

automatic downloading of customer feedback from iTunes

also downloading of financial reports

financial predictions of the current month’s approximate income

track when regions that are still below $250 will finally have earned enough to be cashed out
